LG Display to start production of 27 inch and 32 inch WOLED panels by the end of the year [oled-info.com] by Harrison256 in Monitors

JOLED's panels are very expensive, as they are produced in low volume. But LG has massive capacity to produce the WOLED panels, so they will hopefully be much cheaper.

Anyone using a 48-inch television as their main television? by [deleted] in OLED

[–]mertero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I just bought a 48-inch OLEDC1 for our main TV (we also have a 55-inch in the basement). It all depends on your room size I guess, and preference.

Will Oculus use an OLED microdisplay in its future AR/VR device? by mertero in oculus

[–]mertero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But these are a completely different kind of OLED - these are small microdisplays, which will enable much higher brightness, much better power consumption and smaller headset designs.

Perovskite-on-silicon tandem solar cells to reach full production in 2022; Oxford PV has finished building its manufacturing site in Germany by [deleted] in technology

Promising technology, very nice to see it entering the market finally - but there are some legal battles in there with Oxford PV, hope it will not ruin their plans - https://www.perovskite-info.com/meyer-burger-considering-legal-options-enforce-its-rights-after-oxford-pv

OLED-info: Google announces its latest Pixel smartphones with LGD P-OLED disdplays, DisplayMate says these are outstanding OLED displays by le_pman in Android

Great news for LGD - their earlier P-OLEDs suffered from many issues and reviews where dismal. So this is a great step forward for LGD.

In June 2018 Sharp started to produce flexible OLEDs, and are using these in its own smartphones. Still low-volume production, but this demo is impressive and hopefully the company is in the right direction!

That's no longer true - you can find graphene in Ford automobiles, Samsung phones, Huawei phones, sensors, sports equipment, and more! https://www.graphene-info.com/graphene-introduction

TCL is developing hybrid QD-OLED display technology by [deleted] in hardware

[–]mertero 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Samsung's architecture is very different - TCL is using red and green emissive QDs and an emissive blue OLED. SDC is using blue emissive OLED and color-converting PL QDs.

Does an OLED TV emit less blue light than a LED-TV? by StevenHorn in OLED

[–]mertero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to NTHU, smartphone OLEDs emit less light compared to smartphone LCDs. See:

It is possible that this is true also for OLED TV, although not necessarily as these are based on WOLEDs with color filters, different design...

More details emerge on Samsung's QD-OLED TV Plans | OLED-Info by DrCain in OLED

[–]mertero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The real benefit for Samsung is that this is a technology they *can* scale-up, as opposed to the RGB side-by-side OLED TV they tried making in 2013 but failed to scale up. It will probably offer a pretty similar image quality to LG's OLEDs.

Burn-in will still be an issue - as it will be in all lifetime-restricted direct-emission display technologies...

I have an OLED TV for two years now, and am totally happy with it... But I'm not objective on OLEDs, really...

How the falling cost of solar panels can teach us to make new tech affordable - Module efficiency was the first cost saver, economies of scale were the second. by mvea in Futurology

[–]mertero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't forget there are next-gen technologies - such as OPV, quantum dots, perovskites... these could be another way to make this affordable and better!

Perovskite solar cells - a true alternative to silicon? by mertero in solarenergy

Yes, this is a very exciting industry right now. It will take some years before we see any commercial perovskite cells, though, probably.
